in atlantic city, hamer was there with a group from mississippi challenging the right of the mississippi all white democratic party to be seated on the convention floor and vote for president johnson as the nominee of the democratic party that year. and she belonged to a more diverse group of people that wanted to represent mississippi. so, they have this challenge. martin luther king was there to support them, but he did not have a feel for the people. he inspire people and he spoke eloquently, but he read his speech before hamer got on stage and she was the one that wowed everyone personally. the press followed king around until they heard hamer speak and then they could not get enough of fannie lou hamer. she spoke to people across the country living in circumstances like her. and so, some of those, mostly men around king, felt threatened by her rising power. they did not want her to have the strong voice that she had. but there was no denying fannie lou hamer. the nation really responded to her. she also had this amazing singing voice. so, she used that so effectively as part of her
